In particular his early talents were that of a landscape painter. He exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy in the early years of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1907 he married the international concert pianist, Gertrude Peppercorn, at West Horsley in Surrey. A year later Aumonier began a career in a second branch of the arts at which he enjoyed a short but outstanding success-as a stage performer writing and performing his own sketches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Observer newspaper commented that \"...the stage lost in him a real and rare genius, he could walk out alone before any audience, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, and make it laugh or cry at will.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1915, Aumonier published a short story 'The Friends' which was well received (and was subsequently voted one of the 15 best stories of 1915 by the Boston Magazine, Transcript).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite his age in 1917 at age 40 he was called up for service in World War I. He began as a private in the Army Pay Corps, and then transferred as a draughtsman in the Ministry of National Service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy now he had four books published-two novels and two books of short stories-and his occupation is recorded with the Army Medical Board as 'author.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1920s, Aumonier received the shattering diagnosis that he had contracted tuberculosis. In the last few years of his life, he would spend long spells in various sanatoria, some better than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShortly before his death, Stacy Aumonier sought treatment in Switzerland, but died of the disease in Clinique La Prairie at Clarens beside Lake Geneva on 21st December 1928. He was 55.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46937660883083,"sku":"9781787801080","price":23.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/aHA3fGk-g09781787801080.webp?v=1778935826","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/stacy-aumonier-the-friends-other-stories-one-lives-everything-down-in-time-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
